    Post up a picture. If it's original it's likely to be a 1.6, FN if I'm correct.

    It's a 1600 alright.

    The engine number can be found in the area I've circled in yellow below. It's on the block itself, just below the head.

    First 2 letters of the engine code will let us tell you more.
